[LincolnTalk] Community Center Building Committee ponders problems

[Lynne Smith]

Below is a copy of the article in the Lincoln Squirrel  
that
 appeared August 15.



My Turn: Community Center Building Committee ponders problems
August 14, 2023 

By Lynne Smith

 
The agenda for the August 9 Community Center Building Committee working group 
was to be a discussion of the State of the Town presentation on September 30. 
However, the issues that have occupied the committee from the very beginning 
superseded that discussion: What is a community center for Lincoln? Is it a 
new/improved facility that hosts the Council on Aging and Human Services 
(COA&HS) and the Parks and Recreation Department (PRD)? Must it also 
accommodate Lincoln school needs — and pay for them as well?

CCBC members are grappling with how to add a facility that houses COA&HS to the 
Hartwell campus, which already hosts the PRD, LEAP (the after-school program), 
the school maintenance workshop, and the Magic Garden preschool (in the 
Hartwell Building) and its playground. The busy campus was selected as the site 
for a new home for the COA&HS and a renovated PRD in 2018. School program 
needs, traffic issues, and green space concerns continue to overwhelm site and 
cost considerations.

It is now the middle of August and it is hard to make sense of where the 
committee stands. Residents will get a chance to look at a variety of options 
at the State of the Town meeting on September 30 and to vote on options at 
three different cost points on December 13.

The elephant in the room is the cost — and the taxpayer impact — of the new 
building. The cost for the 2018 design was estimated at $25 million in 2022. As 
specified in the Special Town Meeting vote 

 in November 2022, the CCBC is charged to deliver three options with costs up 
to 50%, up to 75%, and up to 100% of $25 million. ICON Architecture has 
estimated that the total cost for the 2018 design is now $30 million, which 
means that all these options are even more constrained. Select Board member Kim 
Bodnar pointed out that costs are likely to increase during the building 
process and that requirements will need to be “value engineered” out, as 
happened frequently during construction of the $94+ million Lincoln school. 
There is no stipulation in the November vote for an increase in price.

In my opinion, the only option that will pass a town vote in December is the 
50% one with a cost of up to $12.5 million. The committee should start with 
that as a budget, the way most homeowners do, and ask ICON to develop the best 
possible outcome. The committee could then rely on town staff and volunteers to 
inventory existing town-owned spaces that could host programs that don’t fit on 
the Hartwell campus, as called for in the Special Town Meeting vote. Some 
spaces might need upgrades, which would lead to reasonable expenses to keep 
town buildings in good repair.

CCBC member Alison Taunton-Rigby, with help from other volunteers, revisited 
the community centers in towns similar to Lincoln. She presented interesting 
findings regarding cost, size, and usage data. While she did not draw 
conclusions, she gave committee members a lot to think about. In addition to 
this information, it would be useful to know the impact on tax bills for those 
communities.

Jonathan Dwyer pointed out that Dennis Picker, an interested and informed 
resident, delivered a detailed analysis of how COA&HS and PRD activities could 
be accommodated in existing town spaces. I hope the Committee will explore this 
analysis given the need to reduce the cost and the space required on the 
Hartwell campus.

CCB Chair Sarah Chester ended the long meeting by reminding members of the 
continuing schedule of meetings every other week until December 13. She is 
committed to keeping residents updated through monthly public forums. This is a 
good idea and I hope residents take full advantage of these meetings to make an 
informed decision and express opinions. The State of the Town presentation on 
September 30 should help everyone understand the possibilities for a new 
community center. The next public forum is Wednesday, Aug. 16 at 7:30 p.m. You 
can join here 
.

For interested residents, I recommend the Summary Report of the 2010 Facilities 
Coordinating Committee 
. The report 
documented an excellent effort by town staff and volunteers to survey town 
spaces and match them to town activities. In boldface type, the report 
concludes: “Building new space incurs a high total cost of ownership 
(construction, maintenance and staffing, heating/cooling, etc.). We believe 
that the Town’s best oppor

very easy to do and take about 2 hours. It needs to be a female. Perhaps 
an immigrant who needs more money, or perhaps someone working part time, 
or perhaps someone who is retired , or perhaps a young mother who would 
like a little work would be interested in this. Please contact me 
directly if either you or someone you know is interested.

[LincolnTalk] roofer recommendations

[Tracey Cornogg]

Greetings neighbors

Looking for recommendations for a seasoned roofer who is good at finding
and fixing roof problems and leaks.  Since we moved into our house 20 years
ago we've had a problem with water getting in one area in our roof and
though we've had multiple people come out to find and fix, the repairs have
not held and with all the rain this summer we have obvious water damage
showing on our inside wall. We've replaced our entire roof 10-15 (?) years
ago. Part of our roof is rubber so we need someone who competently knows
how to deal with one of those.

I know about the LincolnTalk recommendations list.

Thank you
Tracey

[LincolnTalk] Free archery bows

These fiberglass bows were used by my boys in Jr. High. Need new

kill a dog or a child. We had a hay-bale target with a hill behind it.
